There is something wrong with my dating simulator

"Aren't you curious? About being locked in the club room, maybe some kidnapper has targeted you and is planning to lock you up until school is over, and then..."

"Hey! I'm curious, that's all! Please don't say such scary words to scare people..."

That's right. As a young lady with a strong curiosity, how could she not be curious about the fact that she was locked in the club room?

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lin Yuanshan, and I'm a new transfer student."

"I know. It's often played in movies. You should be some kind of agent, here to protect some important person, right?"

Well, the young lady has a strong imagination, so there is no need for me to explain anything extra.

"Anyway, since you are sincerely curious, Chitanda-san, I will mercifully help you find the answer to your question."

Lin Yuanshan said this and took the initiative to check the sliding door in the office.

"Generally speaking, when faced with a crime scene, we would use this first."

As he spoke, he took out a tube of spray from his school bag.

"It's probably not a crime scene, but what is that?"

It turned out that Chitanda Eru was still curious about everything deep down in her heart, she was just frightened by Lin Yuanshan's appearance just now.

"This thing is called Lumicin reagent. It can help me show the bloodstains that have been wiped off. It is a useful tool for reconstructing the scene."

“Blood…blood!?”

"But unfortunately, there is no blood here. Let's rule out the possibility of homicide."

Chitanda breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, although she didn't know why she was so nervous just now.

"Then... then Lin, there shouldn't be any murderer at all, right?"

"Are you talking about the kidnapper? The possibility of this is even higher now.

How could a man who is about 35 to 38 years old, overweight, has a bad habit of smoking, and seems to be engaged in heavy physical labor on weekdays appear in a high school? "

"Eh? Lin, have you seen the murderer?"

Lin Yuanshan shook his head when he heard this, but pointed to the footprints on the ground.

Not many people usually come to the Classics Club, so there is some dust on the ground nearby. After excluding Chitanda and his footprints, the information given by the owner of the remaining footprints is this.

"So...so there really is a kidnapper?"

Chitanda Eru felt that after she came to the Classical Club, no, after she met Lin Yuanshan, the development of things gradually began to become surreal.

How could there be kidnappers in an ordinary high school?

If you have to go, go to elementary school, okay?

"In short, letting this guy exist is undoubtedly a threat to you and me. Come with me, I will track the direction of the footprints and maybe I can find where the guy is hiding."

Lin Yuanshan said as he took Chitanda and followed the unclear footprints.

After that, basically nothing could be seen on the ground, but he used his second weapon - "magnetic powder" to accurately find the "kidnapper" among the chaotic footprints that appeared.

This superb skill made Chitanda even more convinced that Lin Yuanshan was not an ordinary high school student.

The two tracked the suspect all the way and finally arrived outside a classroom where all the students had left. Footprints showed that the kidnapper was hiding inside.

There was a rustling sound coming from inside, as if there was really someone there.

Chitanda subconsciously grabbed Lin Yuanshan's hand.

"Lin... Lin, why don't we tell the teachers? They should be able to solve the problem..."

"I don't know how long I'll have to wait. The kidnapper would have already escaped. Don't worry. If they don't have automatic weapons, I can handle even double-digit enemies."

As he said this, Lin Yuanshan tactically rolled into the classroom, while tightly gripping the gun in his hand. He was confident that he could draw his gun and finish off his opponent within five seconds.

However, when he looked up, he saw the janitor who was changing the light bulb with a confused look on his face.

"Classmate, rolling on the ground will get your clothes dirty..."

Lin Yuanshan stood up without any embarrassment and dusted himself off.

Fortunately, he reacted in time and restrained his muscle memory.

This school worker was very lucky, he managed to save his life.

"It's okay, uncle, you go ahead and do your work."

As he spoke, he tightened his non-existent windbreaker and left the classroom in a cool and confident manner.

"Ahem.....Student Lin is amazing. He actually discovered it long ago. The school worker locked the door when he changed the light bulb. I didn't notice it because I was staring at the mysterious building outside the window..."

I always feel that there is an inexplicable pity in Chitanda's eyes.

However, Lin Yuanshan was strong inside and chose to ignore it.

"Chitanda-san, I also plan to join the Classics Club, so you will be the club leader."

"Eh??? Lin-san is also going to join the Classical Club? Then...then I will..."

Looking into Lin Yuanshan's eyes, Chitanda finally didn't dare to say the word "quit".

I always feel that Lin is a bit weird and mysterious, but he seems to be a bit mentally ill.

It will be troublesome if you get involved.

But on the other hand, what is Lin’s purpose in coming to Shenshan High School?

I'm curious!

Chitanda thought so and finally completed her mental preparation.

So, the next day.

Looking at Lin Yuanshan who was walking in front of him, tiptoeing up the stairs, then suddenly pushing open the door of the office, rushing in, doing a tactical roll while holding the gun tightly and standing up,

Chitanda Eru regretted it a little bit...

After checking that the hair he had placed in the office drawers and bookshelves was intact, Lin Yuanshan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But he did not relax. He checked the windowsill again and saw that the talcum powder on it had not moved at all.

Next, he checked the miniature burglar alarm that had been placed in a secret corner.

"Isn't Mr. Lin a little too cautious..."

"I'm not being overly sensitive, Chitanda. The reason I'm still alive today is because I pay attention to these little details in life."

Although she didn't refute it, Chitanda didn't think that a normal person would put talcum powder on the windowsill...

Chapter 2: Hyouka : Scarlet Bullet

"Student Lin, have you heard of the second of the seven mysteries of Shenshan High School?"

After school on the third day, Chitanda Eru, who had gradually become familiar with Lin Yuanshan, was finally able to selectively ignore the strange temperament in him and chat with him normally.

"Please say."

Lin Yuanshan unexpectedly took Chitanda Eru's "chat" seriously. He took out a cowhide file bag, solemnly pulled out a piece of letter paper, and wrote on the first page:

Title: Seven Wonders of Shenshan High School Part 2

"Um... Mr. Lin, there's no need to be so exaggerated. We're just chatting..."

"Attaching importance to intelligence gathering is a basic quality of a detective. Please continue. I will record what you say."

"..."

Because the atmosphere was too heavy, Chitanda no longer had the desire to continue speaking.

But she was a naturally optimistic and cheerful person after all, so she quickly adjusted her mood and continued:

"I heard it happened in the piano club. It happened yesterday, on a terribly hot afternoon..."

"It was a rainy day yesterday, Chitanda-san, so that's a little imprecise."

"Well, it was a gloomy afternoon, and a student passing by the piano club heard the sound of the Moonlight Sonata coming from the empty club room."

"There's a problem here too. If there's Qin Yin, how come there's no one there? The protagonist shouldn't have walked into the club room at this time, right?"

"Don't worry about these details. Anyway, the students who walked into the piano department out of curiosity saw a horrific scene of a woman with bloodshot eyes and disheveled hair crawling out of the piano stand.

I heard that it was the ghost of a piano club member who unfortunately met with a car accident before the national competition!

How about it, classmate Lin, isn’t it interesting? "

Chitanda's eyes were flashing, reminding people of a hammer user with twin ponytails.

"You are not afraid to go to the piano department to check alone, so you deliberately told me such unfounded information, right?"

"Hey, isn't Lin curious?"

"Curious indeed."

But compared to the ghost in the piano club, Lin Yuanshan was more curious about the rumor about the "member who had a car accident on the eve of the national conference."

Although rumors may become unrecognizable during the process of transmission, they always have a source.

"Since you are curious, let's go and take a look."

"I know that Lin will not let go of any suspicious incidents on campus. Let's go!"

After saying that, Chitanda took the initiative to bring Lin Yuanshan to the rumored piano club.

Because this place is in the shade of the school, it is indeed a bit eerie.

When she arrived at the door, Chitanda knocked politely.

"Muximuxi, is anyone there?"

Not long after, someone opened the door from the inside. It was a woman with disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes.

Looks like he just woke up.

"Sorry to bother you."

Chitanda didn't feel comfortable asking such an impolite question as "Are you a ghost?"

There is no doubt that this is another misunderstanding. Could the so-called "Moonlight" song be an alarm clock for the sleeping members to wake up?

Thinking of this, Chitanda was about to say goodbye, but Lin Yuanshan said:

"Excuse me, has any member of the piano club ever had an accident on the eve of the national conference?"

Since Chitanda is curious, she must investigate the matter thoroughly.

This is what a detective is.

If the investigation is not satisfactory, even Chitanda will not agree, right?

In order to satisfy the curiosity of the simulated target, Lin Yuanshan thought so and planned to investigate the rumor thoroughly.

"An accident? Are you talking about the former minister, Sachiko-senpai?"

"Eh? Did a member really die in a car accident?"

Chitanda looked surprised. It seemed that she didn't really believe in such things as ghost stories. She came here purely out of curiosity.

"Sachiko-senpai was only injured in a car accident, but in the end he was unable to attend the national conference because of this and graduated regrettably."

"There is no doubt that this kind of thing must be man-made. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence that an accident happened just before the national conference?"

Lin Yuanshan drew a conclusion on this incident.

As a detective, he never believed in coincidences.

"Well... Actually, Senior Sachiko is a very playful type, so it's normal for her to have some small accidents. After all, she has a group of biker friends..."

"Oh? So, there is a connection outside the school? It seems that the other party has a very strong background. We can basically rule out small actions between students. I guess Sachiko has offended some ruthless person like a chaebol."

"It was just an ordinary accident..."

The piano club member with his hair loose felt that the person in front of him was a little strange.

"By the way, where do those bikers usually hang out?"

"???"

Chitanda and the piano club members were confused at the same time.
